The required size to race a CO2 car is is at least five feet eight inches tall and at least one hundred and forty pounds. Those are the minimum race car requirements.

What is the distance used in a CO2 car competition What is the distance used in a CO2 car competition
the co2
Co2 cars arrived as early as 1947.. Douglas / Santa Monica plant engineers made and raced some of the first co2 jet cars for a little noon hour racing. Check out.. the Popular Science magazine issue Feb 1947 ( pages 102 & 103) for photos on this race. Some of the early co2 car kits were made by Monogram models in 1947/48 as well. There first co2 powered car kit was called the Hot Shot jet car. This was an instant hit, followed by the Terra jet, Aqua jet, Mono jet, and the Mid jet co2 car kits.
Petrol cars produce CO2 as a combustion by-product, so it might be said that whatever the fastest car in the world is the fastest CO2 car. There are no cars powered by CO2 - obviously - as any chemical reaction starting with CO2 needs energy to produce another substance. There might be a car somewhere powered by compressed CO2, but this will stop moving when it runs out of pressure. Consequently the fastest CO2 car is a parked car.
Friction acts on all cars the same pretty much, model, rocket or tank. I am assuming this is a model race car though.The three important factors to look at are air resistanceRolling resistance (wheel to track and wheel to axle) I used to use no residue and no smell silicone dry sprayBody to track. How will the body of your car react if it touches the side of the track and can you use a Teflon coating? If not use the dry silicone spray and hope no one notices (it is cheating in most cases)Remember the old Nascar saying "If you ain't cheating, You ain't winning"
Aerodynamics of the car, the size of the wheels, the weight of the car, and the size of the CO2 cartridge.
The best co2 race car in the world is the taer drop shaped car with the wheels on the inside or just put some wheels on your mom! just joking
Doesn't the driver ( and any passengers ) in the car emit CO2 as well, so you are not comparing like with like.You must compare CO2 from Car, driver and passengers with CO2 emitted by cyclist to be more accurate.You will need to divide the CO2 for car driver and passenger by number of occupants of car to get CO2 per person per journey
Yes, if you're using the co2 car on Earth. All of Newton's laws will affect every moving object on Earth, and your co2 car is no exception.
